Mazzulla: Paul George's Impact on Celtics' Identity Is 'Extreme'

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla spoke about Paul George's outsized role on the team after Boston took on the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night without star forward Jayson Tatum, who sat out for rest, according to Yahoo Sports.

Mazzulla described George's influence on the Celtics' overall identity as 'extreme,' highlighting how much the veteran forward shapes the way the team plays and competes even when other key players are unavailable.

The comments came during a stretch in which Boston has had to manage its rotation carefully, with Tatum's rest night putting added emphasis on the contributions of other core pieces like George.
